In the afternoon, Yan Xiaoliu hurriedly walked into Jinyiwei.

"Master Ji, Magistrate Lou invites you to come over to discuss the matter."

"Mr. Lou County?"

"Yeah! He asked you to go to the county office with my master to discuss things. The master has already passed. He asked me to call you."

"Okay, I get it."

Ji Chen picked up the horizontal knife and went out. After a while, he came to the county government office.

Lou Zhixian and Xing Baotou are already waiting.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ji!" Lou Zhixian cupped his hands and said in a calm tone.

Ji Chen returned the greeting with his hands, then found a seat and sat down.

After Ji Chen sat down, Magistrate Lou said, "I invited you two here today to discuss how to deal with the Seven Heroes Town Jianghu."

"Now Qixia Town is under the control of the Flying Tiger Gang and the Salt Gang. Prices are soaring, bandits are rampant, people are panicked, and public resentment is widespread. If it is not dealt with, it may trigger a refugee rebellion."

Once there is a rebellion, Lou Zhixian's future will be over. He turned his attention to Ji Chen and Xing Baotou and said, "I wonder if you two have any good ideas."

Captain Xing frowned and did not speak, obviously not wanting to get involved in this matter.

Seeing this, Ji Chen had no choice but to say: "I wonder if this kind of situation has ever happened before and how you handled it."

Head Xing said: "Such situations have happened before, and they were all based on negotiation. The reason why they are doing this now is just because they are targeting you, because they are afraid that you will do something to them after you take office."

Ji Chen smiled and said: "So, they are planning to give me a blow!"

"It's not a show of force!" Lou Zhixian said: "The reason why they did this is just to get a promise that you won't do anything to them after taking office. In my opinion, it's better to give them a promise and start with the seven

Let’s wait until the turmoil in Xia Town calms down. What do you think, Mr. Ji?”

"I don't think it's appropriate!" Ji Chen said: "In the beginning, human nature was inherently evil, and the good ones were fake. Now, human nature is born to be interested in profit and follow the right path, so we fight for life and give in to death.

But if there are diseases and evils, follow them accordingly, so a crippled thief is born, but loyalty and trustworthiness are destroyed; while he is born with the desire of ears and eyes, and has good voices and colors, so he obeys them, so sexual immorality is born, and etiquette, justice, literature, and science are destroyed."

Lou Zhixian and Xing Baotou frowned at the same time.

Xing Captou said: "Then according to your wishes..."

"Kill...whoever dares to cause trouble will be killed until no one dares to cause trouble."

"I don't think it's appropriate!" Lou Zhixian immediately rejected Ji Chen's method, "Your method is too extreme. They control all the economy and items in Qixia Town. Once they are touched, all the shops in Qixia Town will be destroyed."

If the supply of salt is cut off, the consequences will be disastrous."

"If this is the case, we must kill him even more!" Ji Chen said coldly, "How can the lifeblood of a town be controlled by Jianghu sects?"

"You... are just like a common man!" Lou Zhixian was a little angry.

Ji Chen and Lou Zhixian each held their own opinions, which was quite tit-for-tat.

At this moment, Xing Baotou said: "Kill, I must kill, but not now, you can take it slowly. At this stage, the main thing is to appease, and to get through the capital first. Now, the last Jinyi Weiqi

The official died on the street because he disturbed Qixia Zhenjianghu. The water in Qixia Zhenjianghu is very deep. You have just taken office and have no foundation. It is better not to confront them head-on. When your foundation is stable, you will have people under you.

There are people, so it’s not too late to move them.”

Lou Zhixian also nodded and said: "What Xing Captou said makes sense. The rivers and lakes in Qixia Town are really deep. The previous flag officials, including the Capt., all tried to touch the rivers and lakes in Qixia Town, but they all failed.

Of."

Lou Zhixian looked at Ji Chen's expression and continued: "Otherwise, I will take some time to gather all the leading figures of the Jianghu sects in Qixia Town, sit down in the spring breeze, drink tea, and talk.

Let’s talk and see what their needs are. At the worst, we should give up some benefits and first stabilize Qixia Town and get through Beijing Cha.”

"I agree!" Mr. Xing said.

Ji Chen was a little surprised. The two of them settled on the matter without asking for his opinion at all.

Although these two people had plans for him, their approach was too conservative. They were solely aiming to get past the Beijing police and did not consider the survival of the people at all.

They have been in the officialdom for a long time and have completely derailed from the world.

There is only one way to survive in the world, to live standing and to die lying down.

In the end, the world must rely on strength to speak for itself. Once you give in, what you will get is not stability, but the pursuit of dissatisfied desires.

Now that Xing Baotou and Lou Zhixian have decided on this matter, Ji Chen can't refute it. He smiled and said: "Since you all think that peace talks should be the main thing, let's negotiate. You can decide the time.

, you guys come and make an appointment, just let me know when you’ve made an appointment.”

Lou Zhixian stroked his mustache and said with a smile: "Since everyone agrees to the peace talks, let's make tomorrow a day! The location will be Chunfeng Ding, and we will invite all the gang leaders and gang leaders in Qixia Town to come together.

Let’s drink tea and talk.”

After the matter was agreed upon, Ji Chen did not go back to Jinyiwei, but went directly to Tongfu Inn and found Bai Zhantang and Guo Furong.

…

The next day!

The entire Qixia Town was under martial law, and all the refugees were driven out of the city. The streets were deserted, with only gang disciples patrolling.

Especially around the Chunfeng Pavilion, hundreds of gang disciples gathered, all holding swords and guns, and surrounded the entire Chunfeng Pavilion.

This is an invisible demonstration by Qixia Town Jianghu against Ji Chen. It is also an announcement to Ji Chen that Jianghu has the final say in the entire Qixia Town. Even if he becomes the flag officer of the Imperial Guard, he still has to listen to them.

of.

Chunfeng Pavilion is a restaurant and the most famous restaurant in Qixia Town.

In the restaurant at this moment, all the gang leaders in the entire Seven Heroes Town were gathered.

Among them, the Flying Tiger Gang was the leader, and no one from the Salt Gang was present.

"Brother Xiong, you're fine!"

Someone said hello to Xiong Feihu, the leader of the Feihu Gang.

"It turns out to be the leader of the Qi Gang. Nice to meet you!"

"Seven Heroes Town hasn't been this lively in a long time!"

"Yes! Leader Xiong still has the foresight. So what if that crazy monk becomes the official of the Imperial Guard? He still has to come to negotiate with us obediently."

"A prize, a prize!" Xiong Feihu said with a hearty smile: "I am also thinking about our common living space. As long as we, the Seven Heroes of Zhenjianghu, unite as one, not to mention a uniformed flag officer, even if it is the general flag, it doesn't matter. We have to listen obediently.

Ours, after all, the law does not punish the public."

"Hahahaha, that's right, a kid who is less than ten years old wants to fight with us, he is still a little green."

"That's right. Ji Chen's son will come soon. How should we talk?"

"Of course the asking price is sky-high. If we don't give enough benefits today, we won't be able to leave here safely."

"I think we can elect a martial arts leader and rule separately from the government. During the day, the government has the final say in Qixia Town, and at night, we, the Jianghu, have the final say."

"Well, this can work!"

"What if I say no?" A voice suddenly sounded downstairs.

The entire Chunfeng Pavilion fell silent instantly, and everyone looked towards the stairs at the same time.

I saw a man wearing a black and white Feiyu suit, a Feiyu official hat on his head, a horizontal sword on his back, and a bronze stick in his hand, walking up the stairs.

"Lord Ji! Do you mean to make us enemies of the Seven Heroes of Jianghu?" A middle-aged man wearing a Confucian scarf and holding a folding fan said with a bad expression.

"brush!"

The sword flashed! A white light flashed by, and a trace of blood appeared on the neck of the middle-aged scholar.

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of horror and disbelief.

The next second, his head fell to the ground, fresh blood spurting out.

"Ding! You successfully killed the enemy, and the kill value is +35."
Chapter completed!
